"Instructing Absolute Works to take over all our HR issues has been an absolute god send and a commercial decision we should have made a long time ago.

"I have worked with Absolute Works since 2012. Our initial needs were to coach and support the senior managers and directors to improve the performance of managers and employees and resolve HR issues. The success of this led to the introduction of coaching for senior members of staff. The team at Absolute Works, were able to guide and encourage the management team to find solutions to issues as opposed to providing the answer. This has resulted in improved skill, knowledge and performance of the managers. We also now have much better HR practices, including an appraisal process as well as improved staff retention. The team always respond promptly and understand the key issues, quickly resolving problems and keeping everyone happy. All our HR administration is carried out by the team, this saves us time and ensures that we remain compliant.
Absolute Works show a willingness to get things done and go the extra mile. Working with Absolute Works has benefited our business tremendously in terms of improving our HR procedures, cost savings and as a result better morale. I'm very happy with the service that I receive from Absolute Works."

"We started working with Absolute HR Solutions in 2012 because we needed a knowledgeable, HR specialist for expert help with a difficult employee situation. Prior to that HR was simply not a priority on my radar! Sure, the team are always responsive and professional, but more importantly, they tailor their advice and guidance to suit our (SME) business needs. Now, I finally see the real benefit this brings to orchestrating my team’s behaviours and wouldn’t be without it."

"The support we have received from Joy, Amy, Emma and the team at Absolute Works has been vital to us and has enabled us to structure our organisation to take our next step forward. HR has always created anxiety for organisations like ours and after using many different companies, I have found myself tied into expensive contracts with restrictive support. The team at Absolute Works go above and beyond, not only are they good value for money in regards to the package they offer but to have someone who supports, guides and assures you during challenging times unfortunately is against the norm. On many occasions I have called after hours and have always got a response.  Absolute Works is a family run business created by people that care, not corporate but community. To me, this makes all the difference in the world. "

"Very helpful in all areas of HR support and training."

"Joy was most helpful in helping us to look at the business from a strategic point of view as up until this period both Directors had become very involved in dealing with day to day issues and were at times not being strategic in their outlook. Joy helped emphasise the need for Director level meetings focusing on Finance, HR, Projects Marketing and Business Development. Her experience and knowledge helped us develop a framework in order to discuss and address these areas of the business at a high level.
I would highly recommend Joy as a business coach to any small to medium sized business, who are open minded in their approach to achieving and sustaining growth and are looking for experience and insightfulness in order to obtain this. We were so impressed that the team are now our outsourced HR partners."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my coaching sessions with Joy. I felt she really listened to my needs and then helped me become more confident and motivated to achieve my goals, with her sound advice. I have no hesitation in recommending Joy as a coach."

"I am a Birmingham Solicitor and Managing Director of a medium sized firm. We instructed Absolute Works in 2015/6. I would prefer to keep this testimonial confidential but want to say how good Absolute Works are. The team were highly professional, personable and excelled at understanding the 3 issues with different employees very quickly. One issue in particular was complicated and the team were excellent and their legal experience helped immensely. The team had the skills to objectively assess issues and work with me to help to conclude them quickly and sensibly. Joy and her team would be a great asset to small/medium firms like ours in assisting with HR. I would recommend Absolute Works- they are simply excellent."
